Enjoy the beautiful scenery and green north fields from its unique towers.

In all cases, this is a fascinating fortress castle to visit while you are in Amman! Continue for a thrilling cable car ride and for a special unique wine tasting experience at a local winery in Ajloun at the Jordan Wine House. Upgrade your experience with a local meal.
